Chapter 433: Draw the City Again
However, it is said that Zhao Yun and Tian Yu led a large army, and after breaking through the Bohai Sea, Hu Guang led an army to defend Nanpi, but the two led most of them to Daijun.
When he arrived at the boundary of Daijun, Yan Rou led his troops to meet him, and the two armies cooperated in one place, and returned to Gaoliu. At this time, the senior cadres had already led the elite of the state to go to Taihang, and the Yanmen was left behind by Guo Yuan, the general of the state.
When Guo Yuan heard that Liu Beijun was coming again, he was frightened, so he rode out and went to the counties for help.
The state has been in turmoil for more than a decade. The political situation in the imperial court is unstable, and the central government has long left this stuffed place aside. And because it is a border land, all the Hu people live here. So this place has been a situation of Han retreat and Hu advance all these years.
Look at the history, in the fourth year of Zhongping, the Southern Xiongnu of Bingzhou slaughtered the rebellion of various departments, and in the fifth year of Zhongping, he first killed Xihe County to keep the criminal discipline, and a few months later, Zhang Yizhan of the State Assassin was killed in battle, and Shan Yu of the Southern Xiongnu also died in this rebellion. Because of this incident, Yu Fuluo could not return to the country, so he had to wander around.
After Zhang Yi's death, Ding Yuan succeeded him, everyone knows who Ding Yuan is, and there is a famous Lu Bu under his command. Just when Ding Yuan was about to exert his strength in Bingzhou, he was appointed as the captain of Wumeng. Soon after, Emperor Ling of Han died, and he was ordered by the general He Jin to lead his army into Beijing. turned out to be ill-fated and died at the hands of his henchman Lu Bu. As soon as Ding Yuan died, Luoyang at that time was the center of the storm. As a result, the state was completely left without people. The Qiang, Xianbei, Xiongnu and other Hu people rose up one after another and occupied the counties. At the end of Emperor Zailing, Qianghu was disturbed, and the five counties of Dingxiang, Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang, and Shangjun were dispersed.
Ding Yuan did not work long in the history of the state assassination, and the Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty at that time was suspicious of Dong Zhuo, so he ordered Ding Yuan to be the lieutenant of Wumeng, vacated the position of the state and made room for Dong Zhuo, and ordered Dong Zhuo to be the pastor of the state. As a result, Dong Zhuo was ordered, but he just didn't go to office, and took soldiers and horses to stay in Hedong to watch the situation in Luoyang.
The boss of the annexed state did not come to take office, and the annexed state was completely unrestrained and chaotic. Today you beat me, tomorrow I will beat you. The iron hooves of the Hu people crisscrossed the land of the Three Jin Dynasty, and the Han people set up their own fortresses to defend themselves. It wasn't until Yuan Shao asked Gao Gan to come and merge the state that the situation gradually improved.
I have to say that when Yuan Shao's sons are all adults, Gao Gan can still lead the history of the state assassination, and there are indeed a few brushes. History also proves the talent of Gao Gan, who once resisted the army led by Li Dian and Le Jin with his own strength, and fought for four months without defeat until Cao Cao personally led the army to come. As a result, in isolation, he still guarded the small pot for more than three months. It was not until the food ran out that he abandoned the city and fled. The history books also say that the high cadres are noble and famous, which attracts travelers from all over the world, and many people are attached; Talent and ambition are prominent, and civil and military shows out. It's a pity to follow the wrong person.
Although many scholars did not buy his account, but under the strong and flexible hand of Gao Gan, Shangdang, Taiyuan, Yanmen and most of Xihe County have gradually been firmly controlled by Gao Gan. Although there are still a few counties that are not under the jurisdiction of the high cadre, they are afraid of the prestige of the high cadre, and still nominally claim to obey the orders of the high cadre.
This time, Guo Yuan sent four horsemen to ask for help, and after arriving at the place, those forces that were originally attached to high-ranking cadres saw that the state was in a hurry, but they began to shirk it again. Some even showed no mercy and expelled Guo Yuan's envoys. Some envoys were humiliated, and they scolded outside the city: "When the assassin returns to the state, you and the others will be prisoners!" ”
The commander in the city sneered at the head of the city, and said: "The Qingzhou army has arrived, and when the state arrives, I am only afraid that I will change my surname to Liu, why am I afraid of Gao Gan?" ”
After some tossing, only Shangdang and Taiyuan sent reinforcements. Although Xihe also listened to Gao Gan, the royal court of the Southern Xiongnu was in Xihe, and Yu Fuluo's younger brother Hu Chuquan brought his headquarters back to Xihe, and was settling old accounts with Hutu. At this time, the Southern Xiongnu were in chaos, and Xihe wanted to prevent the rout of the army, where was there any extra troops to aid Guo Yuan.
Guo Yuan won these two armies, and his heart was a little at ease. is about to send troops back to Tunbai Mountain. was persuaded by the deputy general Xia Zhao: "At this time, the assassination history is in Hebei, and the state is empty, and there are few soldiers in the city, so it is not appropriate to divide the troops again." The Qingzhou army came from afar, and we just waited in the city to wait for work. ”
Guo Yuan obeyed his words, so he renovated the armament and strengthened the city defense. Single-mindedly sticking to the flat castle.
Zhao Yun and Tian Yu rested in Gaoliu and sent scouts to Yanmen to listen to the news. Before long, the scout came to report, saying that it was Guo Yuanzhen, the subordinate of Gao Gan, who guarded Pingcheng. Zhao Yun listened and said, "No name, dare to stop my Wang Shi?" ”
So he left Yan Rou to guard Gaoliu and be in charge of the grain route, but he and Tian Yu led the army to Pingcheng. When you arrive at Pingcheng, you will first pull out Baideng. Then he camped in the mountains, and every day he looked down into the city.
Zhao Yun and Tian Yu watched the city for a few days, and saw that the defense of Pingcheng was in an orderly manner, and the people were not chaotic at all, so they couldn't help but nod secretly, although Guo Yuan was not famous, he was not a mediocre person.
On this day, the trumpets sounded and the drums shook the sky. Zhao Yun and Tian Yu raised their armies and rushed towards Pingcheng like a tide. A tentative attack began.
Up and down the city, arrows rained down. Every time a ladder hits the city, there are countless rolling logs and stones falling head-on. Guo Yuan put countless iron pots on the head of the city, the boiling water in the pot was churning, and the soldiers guarding the side took a scoop, scooped spoonfuls of boiling water, and only sprinkled it under the city. The Qingzhou army that was drenched, grinning one by one, screamed and fell down the ladder, after being rescued, he took off his clothes and armor, and saw that the place where he was splashed was red, and there were countless blisters.
Fortunately, the siege equipment on the Qingzhou side was really endless, which protected most of the soldiers. The drums resounded unhurriedly over the battlefield. Zhao Yun and Tian Yu stood at the rear of the military formation, without saying a word.
At this time, to carry out a tentative attack, one is to carefully observe whether the opponent will show flaws in the offensive and defensive battle. The second is to try to consume the enemy's city defense materials as much as possible. In the case of a large army besieging the city, the small flat city, with one cent less material use. Stones, wood, they can tear down houses, arrows, knives and guns, which are consumed, can't they be made out of nothing, right?
For three consecutive days, Zhao Yun commanded the troops to change the three city gates for a tentative attack, but unfortunately, so far, no problems have been found with Guo Yuan's command. Zhao Yun and Tian Yu were about to use the big killing weapon distributed by Qingzhou Gongcao this time. Suddenly, an urgent report came from behind.
Zhao Yun returned to the camp to take a look, but it was Yan Rou's letter, and when he opened it, Yan Rou said in the letter, there was another army coming from Qingzhou, and this time the leader came with Lu Bu and Zhang Liao, but it was under the banner of the Seventh Army of Qingzhou. Now it is replenishing grain and grass in Takayanagi City. Yan Rou was still in Youzhou, and he didn't know that Lu Bu had been incorporated by Liu Bei. Zhao Yun and Tian Yu were clear in their hearts.
After reading the letter, Zhao Yun smiled at Tian Yu and said, "Guorang, the one who grabbed the credit is here." ”
Tian Yu frowned, and said: "Zilong, Lu Bu is here, this Pingcheng, do you and I attack or not?" ”
Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Lu Fengxian is newly attached, and it is the time to make meritorious contributions. If you and I take the city, their hearts will not be happy. It's better to stop for the time being, and wait for the new army to come here and make plans again. ”
Tian Yu, like Zhao Yun, is also a broad-minded person with a relatively good personality. Seeing Zhao Yun's attitude, he thought about it, no matter what happened to Lu Bu before, now that he has changed his flag and returned to the lord, it is a family. If your own army knows that the friendly army is behind you, but still rushes to capture Pingcheng, this is too obvious. In order not to let others say that their army is bullying the "newcomer", then wait for Lu Bu. Guo Yuan was surrounded by his own army, it didn't matter if he took a few breaths, could it be that he could still fly out of the encirclement?
